I'm Mariko. We live on an island, and we do have a dishwasher. I've got an artist husband and two children who care about dinner. I care about diverse eating and that we're well-rounded with kale on weekdays and by cookies on the weekends.

Line a 8x8 inch metal baking pan with foil. Butter the insides and dust with flour, shaking out to remove the excess. Heat the oven to 400 degrees.

In a glass bowl, melt the butter and chocolate in the microwave. First microwave for 1 minute, stir, then microwave for 30 seconds, stir again. Microwave for 30 seconds more and stir again, making sure the chocolate is all melted and incorporated fully).

Stir in the sugar, cocoa and salt with a wooden spoon until shiny. Mix until very well combined.

Add the eggs one at a time, stirring well to combine each time.

Stir in the flour, just until incorporated.

Scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for about 30 minutes—check by poking it with a toothpick and it’s done if it comes out mostly clean—just a few crumbs clinging to it. Remove from the oven and top with the marshmallows, chocolate and peanut butter chips, and mac nuts. Return to the oven for 5 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then lift it out with the foil and put on a cutting board to let cool for at least a couple of hours. The brownies will become more dense and less crumbly. They will still be slightly crumbly. Cut and serve.

You definitely need some milk, soy or cow’s or otherwise. Just be prepared.

Oooh. Yummy. I think I would love to keep my mommy for a month. Uh, not longer than that since I also need my private space (mommies love to nag) but it would be wonderful having her around, for I shall never need to clean a toilet again.
